[843 acres] Lockerbie Bomber Release – continued

by Bethany

Can only God show mercy? Some people think so and, thus, have a problem with the Lockerbie Bomber’s release by the Scottish government. [Telegraph – UK]. Times haven’t changed too much, though. During the time of Jesus, people also thought only God could forgive sins. That’s why some found Jesus offensive – for he, in claiming to be able to forgive sins, was claiming to be God himself. (Luke 5: 20-21: When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, “Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”)
